Quoted from C0untDeM0net:The fact that nightly I can get over 120 after a few games is a pretty consistent strategy
That’s a great strategy for consistency it seems like. Nice work!

And that's exactly why I do the same thing we are just going about it a bit differently I try to line up as many kitty hits as I can and get thru spot and Grandpa as quick as possible. I then go into the multiballs with 6x and Lily going and if I can keep it going for a bit and make it into Munster madness with 6x then I know I'll have a 150mil + score. If I can stack 5 or more super jackpots that's a bonus 30 mil right there if I can collect. The reason I stack the kitty shots is if I do drain on Herman or Raven I at least have a chance of 2 or 3x on Munster madness which will still be a 100+ mil game.
Quoted from AdeptJR:I am considering getting the plasma towers (it is a set of two) to be placed on top. They plug into the usb port, is that safe?[quoted image]
Those plasma balls are made REALLY cheap - I have a couple, and always play it safe by plugging them in separately. They're 5V which is fairly low voltage but it can still blow your boards if something craps out.

All or nothing for me. I rarely play this in competition so this is the strat I use as it’s the most exciting. Obviously it rarely works though. Haha
Ok the back box speakers in my Munsters premium need to go!
They sound blown out (especially the left one) when I turn the volume up past about 17.
Can anyone recommend good backbox speakers that are plug and play replacements?
Amazon links appreciated!

Here are the same ones in the LE model as "Sterns premium sound system". They sound pretty good but you'll need to get the speaker plates changes to accommodate them.

Thanks...I ordered those kenwoods and the 5 1/4 adapters and gaskets from pinball life but somewhere I read that spacers were also needed. Now I cant find the bloody post that lists what spacers are needed. Ugh!
Today I am trading my Hobbit for a Munsters Prem. I think The Hobbit is worth a little more but its just not doing it for me and I think I could have a lot of fun with this one. Thoughts....?

I think you’re making a great trade personally. Ive played both and Munsters is much more fun imo.

thanks...found them. I think I need 1/2” spacers. Order placed
A couple questions please. With 1.02 code what game adjustments are you making if your a decent player.And I noticed no coin door high power shutdown,is that normal. Thanks
Quoted from Bublehead:As a player who takes his tilts to the knifes edge, no... shakers are the bane to us edgy nudgers. If it is one thing I can not stand is when I have a machine rolling- multiball! jackpot!... jackpot!... jackpot!... Shaker... Danger... jackpot!... Danger Danger... Shaker... TILT
Now as an operator... “Shake that money-maker, baby!!”
I had this happen to me today, multiball then it tilted. Is there a way to adjust the intensity on the Stern shaker?
Quoted from AdeptJR:I had this happen to me today, multiball then it tilted. Is there a way to adjust the intensity on the Stern shaker?
I remove the plum bobs from my cabs on arrival. I have them all in the coin box.
I also set number of balls to 10 and set all ball save timers to max.
I know. I know.
Imma bad bad person.
But I’m terrible at pinball. I haven’t played them much until I started having them in my home.

Looks great Thunderbird, cant wait to get mine. Its really the icing on the cake for this awesome pin imo.

When Dwight referred to a secret mania being in the game do you think he meant ”midnight madness”?
Quoted from AdeptJR:I had this happen to me today, multiball then it tilted. Is there a way to adjust the intensity on the Stern shaker?
For me it's "Home Use Only" I don't even install the tilt weight in my machines... not that I shake them very much anyway
Quoted from lasermel:For me it's "Home Use Only" I don't even install the tilt weight in my machines... not that I shake them very much anyway
Same here. It has been suggested that I should remove the glides and put casters on the legs because of the distance I end up moving them around when "nudging".
Quoted from SBrothers:When Dwight referred to a secret mania being in the game do you think he meant ”midnight madness”?
Nope. Not at all.
Good Afternoon. Is there a way to add a little directional adjustment to the VUK coming out of the Grandpa Scoop? 95% of the time it kicks the ball out of the scoop, it wants to head SDTM between the flippers. I'm not one who likes to nudge, and it's getting annoying. I put the Grandpa Scoop Rubber in there several month's back, but it was doing the same before that. I'm thinking there may be a way of loosening the mounting screws and cocking it to the side just a hair then re-tightening, so it doesn't slam a fastball right between the flippers. Any thoughts

Odd....mine does not do that... heads for the left flipper..

I have had mine out of the play field but I am a little fuzzy on just how it is attached. It is bolted into a fixed position. You might be able to take a Dremel Tool and open up the two bolt holes and shift the direction just a bit. But it is not designed to be moved. I'd have to go in and look around again.
Quoted from JMCFAN:Odd....mine does not do that... heads for the left flipper..
same here.
Hmmmmmm..... ok, Wednesday night, I'll open it up and see just where my side to side level is at. Make sure there's no tilt issue. I never see the ball favor one side of the machine or the other, but I'll get this figured out. Too bad I can't reduce the power to that coil. I don't ever remember seeing an option for that in the utilities. Flippers yes.
Want to replace the stock speakers in the backbox and am wondering which size these are. I guess they are 4" speakers but the mounting holes are a 'convenient' 4.5".
Someone got some insights they can share?

My raven door didnt shut once but I pushed it back in with my finger and it's worked ok ever since.
If this thing will work and not be a pain in the ass it will be a killer and must have mod for anyone planning on keeping this game. Its really very very cool and it looks beautiful. It adds a lot to an already awesome pinball machine.

Oh yeah and the game has been sitting pretty much for the last couple of months and i played it a lot after i put the topper on today and this game is just loads of fun and makes me smile every time that i hit the start button. Anyone who is sitting out and not buying this game because of all the BS on this site about it is missing out on a great pinball experience. Maybe I'm weird but i freakin love this game!

Awesome, I do have a question. I don't have the ceiling height to allow this topper on top of the machine, what is the supplied wire length? Thinking maybe I can side mount it on a shelf next to the machine, just a thought. Thanks.

Mine had a length pretty much the height of the back box itself. There really isn't any extra length. But, I'm sure you could grab a longer Cat5 cable, and splice a section into the power cable.

It just hooks up with a cat 5e cable only?
**update** Okay found my answer thank you, I can use a cat5e coupler and extend the cat5e cable with no issues, just need to make a power plug extension cable.
Thanks again

They are considered 4" speakers, but as you can see they have more of what I would call "mounting slots" instead of tight "mounting holes". This can cause some issues when buying other replacement 4" speakers (especially if they have tight, round mounting holes). You may want to keep an eye out for speakers that have the elongated mounting holes like the factory speakers or the more open mounting forks on each corner of the speakers.
Stern used the same mounting size and spacing on all of their games from Data East's Back to the Future - Ghostbusters.....and then decided to go with 2 mounting points (instead of the 4 that everyone else in the world uses) and spaced them differently for some reason.
so strange sensation... meet this pin again on a tournament this week-end, in the freezone, and again, i enjoy playing it as it
but in the same time, if i ask myself : would i have it home ? the answer is more to the "no" side... :/
about the secret mania : for those who knows, is this a secret skillshot ?
Hi everyone this is my first post. I am a new owner of a munsters pro. I am trying to update to 1.02. I downloaded the file went to my winrar. Its a .000 file. Is it just a matter of highlighting E:/ for the usb drive abd dropping that file onto the usb drive? I did this and plugged it in and turned on my machine but got nothing. Going to try a new usb drive when i get home. Or am i missing a step or something? Thanks in advance for any help!Going to try a new usb drive and see if that helps in the pic below is that the file i need to drop on my E:/ flash drive? Thanks
11DA36D9-C997-4C73-A838-7F58C07594B8 (resized).jpegAfter all of the talk on strategy I was finally able to break my previous gc from over a month ago. The only real change to my strategy.for this table was to keep pounding kitty while in multi all to keep it going. I still waited for multiball. I got things lined up with 6x playfield going into Herman, then Raven, and finally Munster madness. A lucky run without draining. I also focused on keeping Lily going during these modes. It was a really fun run and my best Munster madness to date. I've also been focusing on getting control of the balls in multiballs in league and it really paid off. I really wanted to crack 300 and my last ball was a complete waste but I hope to do it soon.
When I did the last code update I didn't reset everything. Is the extra ball now on 8 modes complete for you all as well? I remember it being around 4 on the code my machine came with.
